Just Kicked the Habit!

My last pack which I threw at the NAIA Terminal 1 before my flight to Taiwan

 I’ve been smoking since I  was 16. It started in the 80′s where I was hard core new wave fanatic. You can call it peer pressure of wanting to belong to the hippest crowd and smoking seems to be cool. I started smoking with my sister Michelle. We started off with Philip then eventually winston and for the longest time I smoke Marlboro lights..Fad? Maybe.

I always wanted to stop. Every week I tell myself that I’ll stop smoking the next monday. It seems the right day to stop since its the start of the workweek. Well sometimes it happens most of the time it doesn’t. Well, its worth the try. I actually stoppped smoking in the 90′s for about 2years and I can’t remeber why I started smoking again. Maybe it’s best that I dont remember.

What’s good to know is that I haven’t smoked in 4 days! and the better news is I dont crave to smoke. I hope that I kicked the habit…the bad habit for good! next milestone would be my first week then my 1st month then my fist year. I sure hope I have the will to maintain this attitude towards smoking.

Come to think of it. It’s the decision to finally quit is most important. Everything else will follow even if I go the the store but a pack and take that long long drag again. I will eventually go back to my first real reason for smoking again and that’s to quit. Now, what came first? The chicken or the egg. :)
